The Queen Presiding at the First Distribution of the Victoria Cross, c1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph, we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image captures Queen Victoria herself presiding over the first distribution of the prestigious Victoria Cross. Painted by Henry Marriott Paget, this print showcases his remarkable talent for capturing both grandeur and emotion. The scene unfolds in Hyde Park, where a regal table is set up under a canopy. The Queen sits atop her majestic horse, surrounded by an entourage of men and women dressed in military uniforms and elegant attire. As she extends her hand to present the coveted medal to a brave recipient, everyone stands with utmost respect and admiration. This snapshot from Cassells History of England transports us to the late 19th century when war was prevalent across nations. It serves as a reminder of Queen Victoria's unwavering commitment to honor those who displayed exceptional bravery on the battlefield. Paget's attention to detail is evident not only in his portrayal of each individual but also in his depiction of horses standing proudly nearby. The monochrome palette adds depth and timelessness to this powerful composition. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves being part of that historic moment - witnessing an act that encapsulates courage, sacrifice, and royal grace. It reminds us why Queen Victoria remains one of Britain's most revered monarchs even today.
